Canada3 months ago - Awesome Content
Loved this podcast, huge wealth of knowledge. However, I haven’t been able to listen since the March 16 2026 episode. All the episodes since come up with an error “This episode is temporary unavailable, try again later”. My podcast app is up to date and all my other podcasts don’t have this issue, so I assume it’s on your end? Five stars for content if you can listen to it, one star if it doesn’t work 😅
